Fluoridation is an unethical practice of enforced mass medication upon the population. Fluoride is the only chemical added to drinking water for the purpose of medication, originally alleged by corporate interests in the US to reduce dental decay. Most of Europe has rejected fluoridation because of the civil liberties infringement, and it is now being questioned by professionals in the US.
Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, former President of the American Medical Association said "I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable."
Fluoridation contravenes our own Medicines Act of 1981. Medsafe’s website states “The Medicines Act 1981 permits a registered medical practitioner, dentist and midwife to prescribe, administer or arrange for the administration of medicines for the treatment of a patient in his or her care”. Over one million people are currently being medicated with fluoride without being in the direct care of a medical practitioner or dentist. They are also being medicated against their permission. We do not know how much medication each individual is ingesting. We do not know how much fluoride each individual is getting through food, tea, or fluoridated commercial drinks. Doses are uncontrolled and unmonitored.
The Medicines Act defines medicine to mean “any substance or article, other than a medical device, that is manufactured, imported, sold, or supplied wholly or principally: (a) For administering to one or more human beings for a therapeutic purpose; or…”
Section 4 of the Act describes therapeutic purpose in (a) and (f):
“(a) Treating or preventing disease; or……. (f) Otherwise preventing or interfering with the normal operation of a physiological function, whether permanently or temporarily, and whether by way of terminating or reducing or postponing, or increasing or accelerating, the operation of that function, or in any other way”
If fluoridation “prevents tooth decay” it is therefore an unregistered medicine. It is illegal for Doctors to prescribe medicine without a license or private consultation. Should Councillors, Dentists and Politicians be in the position of prescribing mass medication without a license, a private consultation or a case history of the patient to determine if there is fluoride sensitivity or danger of over exposure? |
